 flowers yellow); without locaUty, April 1900 (Veitch Exped. No. 102); 

 without locahty, A. Henry (Nos. 7773, 1985, 5247, 6475, 3887). 

 Korea: Quelpaert, thickets, 1908, 1909, Taquet (Nos. 618, 3112, 

 4149, 4616); same locality, October 1906, U. Faurie (No. 459).

PHELLODENDRON Rupr. 



Determined by C. S. Sakgent. 



Phellodendron sachalinense Sargent, Trees and Shrubs, I. 199, t. 

 94 (1905). 



Phellodendron amurense, var. sachalinense Ft. Schmidt in Mem. Acad. Sci. 



St. Petersbourg, s6r. 7, XII. 120 {Fl. Saghalin.) (1868). — Pahbin in Act. 



Hart. Petrop. XVII. 51 (Conspect. Fl. Koreae) (1899). 

 ? Phellodendron amurense Franchet & Savatier, Enum. PI. Jap. I. 73 (1875). 



Western Szech'uan: Mupin, alt. 1200 m., October 9 and 10, 

 1908 (No. 1286; tree 7-10 m. tall, 0.5-1 m. in diam.); same locality, 

 in open country, alt. 2000 m., October 1910 (No. 4217; small tree, 

 7-10 m. tall, 0.5-1 m. diam.). 



Except in their slightly thicker leaflets and rather stouter branches of the 

 panicles of fruit, I am unable to distinguish these specimens from those of P. 

 sachalinense from central Hokkaido. The discovery of this tree in western China 

 is interesting, for previously it has been known only from Saghalin and northern 

 Japan.
